What accessories do you wear with a sari, and what wouldnt you wear?

I generally dont wear them, but I would wear just a pair of earrings and a sleek chain, not a lot. With matching bag.

I would wear dangly pretty earrings that stand out, the kind I wouldn't normally wear😆
and bangles
Or I'd go the other route and wear a delicate chain and pair of studs
If it's my wedding saree, then LOTS of other jewellery😆

i usually wear chandelier earrings or something of that sort as in long and big.. i love statement jewelry i always have my rings on me lol no matter what and i also have to wear bangles because i'm married

if i'm wearing a saree for a family event then i have to wear a necklace but if it's not for a family event and it's jsut a party like a sweet sixteen and what not..i don't really care..might wear one
i guess its way more simple if you aren't married cause you aren't obliged to look good cause people aren't staring you down lol😆

I would wear bangles, earrings and maybe a small necklace. If the sari is plain I would wear more jewellery otherwise only chudiyan and earrings. A matching bag and nice shoes would fill the bill. Ofcourse a nice bindi will look good too😳

I dont know abt that shopaholic, because those who arent married probably feel they have to look good in case they meet someone haha. It all depends.

lol that's true too but you don't have to do anything you don't want to
if you don't want to wear bangles it's fine.. you don't have to lol..you don't even need to wear jewelry if you don't want to....in my case....you kind of have to..well i have to at least cause apparently jewelry symbolizes that you're married especially bangles
lol you don't want all those aunties talking about you..even if you're single and you meet someone i don't think they would really focus on the accessories as much😆 lol just saying

i have worn a saree just once for my school's traditional day where everywhere had to compulsorily wear their cultural dresses.

i like keeping the jewellery to a minimum coz as it is the saree is a pain! cant handle it. lol
so a simple but elegant necklace along with matching medium sized dangling earings would do just fine. along with that my rings which i wear with or without any occassion. lol
even lil heels would go well. :D
